Laundry day. What's he looking for? (Albany, California): photo by efo, 18 October 2006
This poem was found written on a paper bag by Richard Brautigan in a laundromat in San Francisco. The author is unknown.
By accident, you put
By accident, you put
Your money in my
Machine (#4)
By accident, I put
My money in another
Machine (#6)
On purpose, I put
Your clothes in the
Empty machine full
Of water and no
Clothes
It was lonely.
Richard Brautigan (1935-1984): San Francisco, from All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace, 1967
